She’d like 4×6″ photos, and it would help her immensely if you would also include any pertinent information about the pictures: who, what, when, where, why, how, etc.

Please bring anything you have to the next meeting, this Thursday evening at the Banana Factory in Bethlehem. If you have any questions, you can send Rhonda a private message on the forums – her user name is bellamia.

The Wine Train does not have a discounted group rate and they ask that everyone who is interested in going PLEASE order your tickets ahead of time on their website:  www.877trainride.com

The train leaves at 11 am so we need to meet in Phillipsburg at 10:30 am.  We will meet at the train ride parking lot and ticket booth which is at South Main and Market Streets in Phillipsburg, NJ, just across the Free Bridge from Easton.  Directions:  From Downtown Easton take the Free Bridge (old green bridge across the Delaware River on Northampton Street.  At the “T” at the end of the bridge turn right, go up a short hill and Market Street is located about a block up on your right side.  The parking area for the train is here.

Please sign up on this forum thread (under Event Announcements)  if you are planning to go and order your tickets as soon as possible as they only allow 50 riders per train for the winery tours.  You can also send an email to :  Events@lvphotographyclub.org that you are coming on the Wine Train so we know how many of our members will be going.

What’s Included:

Round Trip train fare  in the “Wine Train Car” on the Delaware River  Railroad Excursions. A short 3 mile bus ride through the rolling farm land of Warren County, New Jersey.  A vineyard tour, wine and cheese tasting and a free wine glass from each of two wineries, Villa Milagro and Alba Vineyards.  At each Vineyard you will be able to purchase wines from their company store. Space is provided on  the bus for your purchases and our crews will assist you with loading your car once the train returns  to Phillipsburg. The whole experience lasts just short of 4 hours. Bring a box lunch!  There are a number of great local restaurants that can supply a box lunch.

$40.00  per ticket.

Due to the fact that the weekend we are going will be PRIME  FOLIAGE  SEASON, it is a MUST  FOR  US  TO  PURCHASE  OUR  TICKETS  AHEAD  OF  TIME  to avoid disappointment.

And remember that if you can’t make it this weekend, you may still shoot the train ride and vineyards anytime during the month of October and add your photos to our “Share Your Images” thread.

Maybe instead of boxed lunches we can bring our own cheeses and crackers and a corkscrew to break open a few bottles!!!

We will be meeting at the Zoo parking lot  at 9 am.  They will open the gates for our group at 9:20 am.  We must go in together as a group for the tour.  The admission is $9 a head, regardless of age because of our Zoo tourguide.  Please bring your admission fee in cash because we will have to pay the difference after subtracting the deposit that will already be paid.  If at all possible, please either sign up in the LV Zoo thread in the Events part of the Forum on the website or email me at  Events@lvphotoclub.org.

The curator will give the wolves a snack to lure them down for us to photograph and also give us a one hour guided tour and answer questions about the animals and their habits.  After the guided tour we will be able to stay all day in the Zoo.

There are picnic tables available if you would like to pack your lunch.  They also sell food there.
If you have any questions, please email   Events@lvphotoclub.org

Hope to see you there!!!
